Residents of the town, for so long a virtual wasteland for Indian cuisine, may soon have four Indian restaurants to chose from.

The first salvo in the war has been fired by Taj Indian Restaurant, which opens on Friday.

It is understood that Taj, whose co-owner is Shaikh Akbar Ali, the awarding-winning former head chef of Alexandra Headland’s Hathi Indian Restaurant, will be followed by three more Indian restaurants opening soon.

Taj is at Burnside Shopping Village. Two more restaurants will be launched at the aptly named Currie Street and Coronation Avenue.

Up until its recent closure, Rajkumars on Currie Street was the only Indian restaurant at Nambour.

Word is the owner of that restaurant will soon relaunch at another location on the same street, giving Currie Street two curry houses.

Locals have welcomed the news of the impending openings, but warned that the operators might struggle to attract business.

The prospect of a battle royale is not worrying Taj co-owner Sajal Barua. “Nambour is the sort of place where people always look for cheaper prices,” Mr Barua said.
